Two Sisters and Their Bea.

John Quincy Adams and John Hancock,
.sthe signer,n married two sisters, the
daughters of a noted Methodist divine
in Connecticut. John Quincy was a
favorite with the old people, and Mary's
choice was approved by them. So, when
the banns were published the parents
said,-
"Mary, if you will furnish the text /
will preach you a wedding Sermon"
She was equal to the task and gave
the text: MARY hath chosen the good
part, which shall not be taken from her."
Needless to say that justice was done to
the occasion and the text.
Not so with Margaret, who in the
meanwhile was receiving the attentions
of her John in a very inexpensive way,
as far as her parents were concerned. for
it is said that sshe never crossed his legs
under their festive board" So when
the banns were published she said to
her father
"Father, you preached a wedding ser
mon for Mary; cannot you preach one
for me?"
He at first demurred, but at last con.
sented and called for the text, when
Margaret, who was equal to the occasion,
said, -

drinking, and yet We say he hath a devil

A Famous DeteetiYe.

James Jackson, the famous State detec-
tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties
are to examine carefully the face of every
convict as he enters, and to scrutiniZe
every visitor in order to prevent any dis
charged convict from seeing his pals.
Occasionally he has to make long jour
neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to
identify criminals convicted in other
States. He never makes a mistake; if
once he looks a man in the eye he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his eyes. Once an
escaped convict had his nose pared
down one-third, but Jackson detected
him at once, Notwithstanding this remark
able change of feature. Mr.. Jackson
is about 5 feet s inches in height, about
35 years old, of a light and sinewy build,
with black hair and piercing black eyes,
and is altogether remarkably handsome.
lie knows about 10, 600 criminals. and it
is simply wonderful that he can distin-
guish the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
night. When much fatigued by the jolt
ing of the cars on his tiresome trips he
uses two Allcock's Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him
renewed vigor and quickly relieve him
of all WEAKNESS. These are the only two
remedies he uses, and he attributes his
vigor and remarkable health to Allcock's
Porous Plasters and Brandreth's Pills.

Even exercise, wnlclby S ONE is con-
sidered food, health and life, should be
taken moderately. 1t must be avoided
early in the morning before breakfast on
an empty stomacl. The air is very I'M
wholesome early in the morning, and
until the the sun has purified it, to
breathe it freely is injurious. Malariai
and chest diseases are liable to be taken.
People who are not professional athletes
cannot stand the fatigue of exercise be-
fore breakfast, and it even weakens the
regular professional ones who are ignor
ant. The system is weaker when a per-
son rises than any other period during
The day. Says a professional athlete;
was forced to walk twenty miles before
breakfast when | began to train. Icame
back weak and exhausted. It was wrong,
and did me more harm than good. The
proper way is to rise an hour or SO after
the sun is up, take a light breakfast, and
after the meal has thoroughly digested
take the exercise.

Pernicious Literature.

The best society for the suppression of
pernieious literature is the family. The
best legislation that can be passed for
the prevention of the sale of vile litara.
ture can be passed by father and mother
in Joint convention assembled. Daily
teaching to love and study good and
useful things viii bring boys and girls
to detest the opposite. These are the
only means By which ghh d&s tbs gals Of Peg
md effectually suppressed The passage
of laws of the State and the watchfulness
of the societies for the suppression OF
pernicious literature may do some good
for the youth who have no parents TO
teach them, but to provide sound early
training for them would do far more.

i Profitable Business Operation.


A California farmer recently gave the
refusal Of his farm for a week at one
hui ldred and twenty-five dollars per acre.
He quickly regretted making the bargain
and feared it would be taken. AT the
end of the week the purchaser informed
him that he thought one hundred and
twenty-five dollars per acre was to
much and would not take the farm at
that price, thinking to obtain it for less.
The farmer was delighted and immedia.
tly increased the price to one hundred
and seyenty-ive dollars per acre, which
the purchaser agreed to, and bound the
bargain with five hundred dollars down.
a thousand dollars made an twenty acres
in one minute was a pretty good opera

How TO- Roast Beef.

In roasting meats of all kinds the
method adopted.should be the one that,
in the most perfect manner, preserves oil
the juices inside the meat. To roast
beef in the best possible manner: Place
the clean cut side of the meat upon a
smoking hot pan, which must be over a
quick fire. Press it close to the pan
until scared aud slightly brown. Re-
verse, and let the opposite side become
similarly scared and brown. Then put
it at ono in the oven, the heat of which
should be firm and steady, but not too
intense, and leave it undisturbed till
cooked. The time that should be al
. WED for cooking heef in this manner is
twenty minutes to the pound, if it is to
be rare-less half an hour deducted from
the aggregate time on account of scar
ing. In other words, q fve- pound roast
of beef will require about an hour and a
quarter, a six-pound roast an hour and
n half, and SO on. If the oven is not too
hot the beef requires no basting, and
is better without it. When the
oven is at the proper tenn
perature and the cooking going On all
right the meat will keep up q gentle sput-
tering in the ran. II, upon opening the
oven door, this sputtering is not percep-
tiblc, more heat is required. But, if in adj
dition to the suffering, any smoke is
discernible in the oven, the heat is too
intense and should be lessened. Unless
the heat of the oven is too great the
drippings in the pan will not lurn and
smoke, and when the meat is cooked
there will be II thin coating of brown
jelly in the pan, where the meat rested,
which, by the adding of stock or water,
will make delicious gravy.
Aroast of be f should never be washed,
and if it has accidentally been wet or
moistened, it should be carefully wiped
dry before it is scared or put to cool.
Soaring almost instantly coats the cut
side of q p;oce of meat and prevents the
escape of JUGS in the after process OF
roasting, while a firm, steady heat gent
ly but thoroughly cooks it, and thus
both juices and favor are preserved.
Basting is q troublesome as we'll as a
damaging process. And as salt and wa
ter have a tendency to tougher and ex-
tract the juices of meat, they should not
be used while roasting, if it is desired te
have the aeat sweet, juicy and tender.
